Sammy almost gives us the lead right out? Wow.

Then...I would have to hurt someone. Probably you.

Shoot, I didn't catch that about Murph's daughter. She okay or did they not say? Not happy with Kronner being out. Hopefully it's nothing serious, maybe a groin tweak.

Gah, Craig Simpson in for Murph? EDIT: Ha, he pronounced "Mikael" the way I had always thought it was before (as in, not "Michael").

The hills are alive with the sound of Nazis? (I swear I heard that on an episode of MST3K or something. )

Okay, I need a HUGE week this time around. Friday: Florida @ Boston NY Islanders @ New Jersey Phoenix @ Carolina Philadelphia @ Buffalo Nashville @ Tampa Bay Anaheim @ St Louis Saturday: Vancouver @ Pittsburgh NY Rangers @ Ottawa NY Islanders @ Buffalo Chicago @ Toronto Phoenix @ Philadelphia Columbus @ Atlanta Boston @ Montreal St Louis @ Minnesota Anaheim @ Dallas Detroit @ Calgary Colorado @ Los Angeles Washington @ San Jose Sunday: Nashville @ Carolina New Jersey @ Tampa Bay

My hatred of Crosby is perfectly rational! Just don't ask me to rationalize it.

It's an interesting study here. Small sample size, true, but interesting. You planning on doing any more of these as the season progresses? I must admit, I was shocked that we didn't get called for any penalties in the 3rd last night. I had a feeling that once we went up 3-0 in the 2nd, that was when the shifty calls were going to happen against us. Might have to do with the refs we had last night too (Devorski and Furlatt). And that makes me curious now... Let's look at some of the games in bold (I'll highlight any referees that I personally think are suspect): 11/17 Toronto vs. Boston - Brian Pochmara, Don VanMassenhoven Nashville vs. San Jose - Frederick L'Ecuyer, Dan O'Halloran 11/16 Philly vs. Atlanta - Mike Leggo, Chris Rooney Chicago vs. San Jose - Paul Devorski, Steve Kozari Anaheim vs. Los Angeles - Kevin Pollock, Greg Kimmerly Can't really make anything out of that because, honestly, I'm not even really familiar with half of those guys. Maybe a larger sample size will flesh something out further there.

Seconded. With all the crap that MacT's said about Penner lately, he isn't going to go back on all that just because Pisani got injured.

I think my favorite part of that was how Yzerman introduced himself. "Hey guys, I'm Steve." That's just...wow. He's essentially Detroit royalty, but humble as hell. I love it.

Is anyone else surprised that we didn't get absolutely boned by penalties in the 4rd?

He'll be the face of the franchise once Joe is gone. It may seem pricey now, but I think this deal will be worth it due to its term.

5th career shutout for Conkblock. Nice. First truly decisive game of the season for us.

Booooooo! Rolie loses his mask.

PP upcoming. Gotta call that one.

That was just phenomenal. Gentlemen (and ladies)...THAT is a power forward. 37 goals in his last 44 games. Wow.

MUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUULE!!!

OUCH. That doesn't look good for Pisani.

REX WITH A BEAUTIFUL DEFLECTION GOAL!

Huh. The penalty was on Conklin.

Conkblocked. Cross-checking on the Wings.

I'd laugh, but that's probably not too far off from the truth.

Good job, ref. You blow the whistle on a delayed penalty when the OFFENDING team has possession. How many things can you screw up tonight?

Dats with a nice chance there. I'm just surprised he got to that puck in the slot.

WHAT A FEED FROM LEBDA TO SAMMY!!! Never thought I'd say THAT.
